lyrics

Hanging up the washing, drying all my clothes
Buried under paperwork, traffic going home
I used to know nothing, now I know less than that

Local anaesthetic, generalised dream
Naked in the class, losing all your teeth
Stimulants to wake up and depressants to help you sleep

So they never come down
Now this is just what we do
Stay put but you just want to move
Now don’t ever go outside
So you can keep dreaming away

Another brand-new day, step into the light
Coffee in the morning, alcohol at night
You used to get excited at the thought now your repulsed by the sight

15 milligrams make you lively as a stone
Polyester girls, zombie check their phones
Waiting for another hit of dopamine to unfurl and unfold

So they never come down
Now this is just what we do
Stay put but you just want to move
Now don’t ever go outside
Keep wasting away your life
What else is there to do?

Lost my bearings in the Bermuda Triangle
After I saw what Da Vinci saw at Jesus’ table
I can’t tell what the psilocybin made me feel
Spinning around like the petals on a Tibetan Prayer Wheel
There’s no more seminal wars for young men to come of age
Sit around waiting for some pseudo philosophical sage
To arrest their minds and make them to transmute
Telling them to get up

But they never come down
Now this is just what we do
Stay put but you just want to move
Now don’t ever go outside
So you can
Keep wasting away your life
What else is there to do?
